The Turning Gears Chapter 41 Puzzles

The two quickly walked back to the original cabin with the hole, and on the sea beyond the hole, Drake sat in the dinghy, faithfully waiting for the two of them. As soon as he saw the figures of the two of them, the sailor first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "The two lords didn't encounter any trouble inside, right? Just now, the spells of the sea breakers were disturbed, and we also guessed whether there was a high-intensity battle breaking out inside, but the expressions of the two of them didn't look like there was a fierce battle." ”

"Ah, it's cold inside, so we didn't sweat much, probably like this, we all played in the dark just now, you know?" Lin Moyang listened to Drake's words, and immediately understood, it seemed that when he opened the first breath just now, the forbidden demon realm of the first breath also affected the spells released by the sea breakers outside, so he could only step forward and grab Drake's shoulder, and say a lot of words that Drake didn't understand to prevaricate Drake.

Drake's face showed a dazed and bewildered look, sure enough, this magic weapon is still too unfamiliar to a persecutor like him, after all, not everyone has watched Cantonese feature films, and the entertainment methods of the sea breakers have only expanded to the level of Internet surfing a few years ago, and they can't even see TV before.

"Ah, I don't really understand it, but the two of you are safe and sound, what is this?" Drake is indeed a simple sailor, and this sailor has no intention of delving into things he does not understand, and he also knows that every wizard has their own secrets, and it is obviously impolite to inquire about these secrets.

"Oh, this is one of our harvests, Jinhua ham, you know? This one is a little darker, we opened a warehouse on the ship, found this ham, and it is estimated that it is refrigerated, so we took it back. Lin Moyang continued to play freely with his mouth open, and Drake's face turned green when he heard it.

The person behind this Lord Green is obviously a water ghost, why does His Excellency Lin Moyang call this water ghost Jinhua ham? Although he doesn't know what Jinhua is, he knows that this ham is a precious item, and there are only a few small islands in the base of the Sea Breaker that can make ham, so this ham is an out-and-out luxury item within the Sea Breaker. But the water ghost doesn't look like ham.

"Oh, I see, in a story book I read, it says that there is a god named Zhong Kui in China, who seems to like to eat ghosts and ghosts? Your Excellency Lin Moyang, I remember that it is Chinese, right? Do Chinese really eat ghosts? I thought it was made up in a book! Then are you going to eat sashimi or boil this Jinhua ham?" Drake thought about the Chinese knowledge he had learned in his mind, and suddenly remembered that he had heard such an allusion in a Chinese mythological story, as if there was really such a Chinese god who ate ghosts as a dish? If His Excellency Lin Moyang is the descendant of this deity, then this custom can be explained. After all, alchemists claim to be descendants of Hermes, and some sailors claim to be descendants of Poseidon.

"Oh no...... Forget it......" Lin Moyang didn't expect such a joke to put himself in, he looked back at the twisted and shriveled "Jinhua Ham", and then thought about making this thing into sashimi or barbecue, he felt a wave of nausea, this is too heavy.

"Alright, don't be kidding, it's a lich, we need to extract some memories from it, and ask Mr. Drake to send this back to the ship and give it to Taylor, and she'll know what to do. Green smiled and played the round for Lin Moyang as he put the half-dead "Jinhua Ham" on Drake's boat.

Drake nodded briskly, and quickly swung the oars toward the Wavebreaker.

"I thought they had some taboo about not letting bodies on the boat or something. Lin Moyang looked at the water marks in the distance of the dinghy, and the smoothness was beyond his expectations.

"Oh, why do you think that?" Green looked at Lin Moyang's blue face, probably frightened by some kind of lich sashimi, and he thought it was funny.

"The sailors on TV I watch are the most difficult people to serve, and they break a lot of rules, and if you have Jesus tattooed on your back, the boatswain won't whip you. If you meet a clergy when you go to the port, you can't go to sea. Lin Moyang muttered.

"Haha, Sueyang, you are really well-informed, yes, you are right, ordinary sailors have this taboo, but the sea breakers do not have these taboos. "The only taboo for seabreakers is to be near land with a state. They have no taboos in the sea. ”

"Why? Ordinary sailors have so many rules and superstitions, shouldn't these wizard sailors avoid more?" Lin Moyang asked curiously.

"Hahaha, wizard sailor, this term has some new meaning, but the sea breakers are not wizards, the sea breakers are sea breakers, which represents not only their organization, but also their identity. They are the guardians and rulers of the sea, and they are the spokesmen of the sea and its creatures. How could the sea kill itself, how could the sea be blamed for anything it did in the ocean?" Grimm was amused by the word coined by Lin Moyang, and the knight smiled and explained.

"But don't the Sea Breakers call themselves the sons of the sea?" Lin Moyang asked, not knowing for a moment whether this group of sailors regarded themselves as the children of the sea itself or the sea.

"No, the purpose of the Sea Breaker is that all life is a child of the sea, because the first life is the origin of the sea. But the children who have returned to the sea are burdened with the responsibility of protecting the sea and speaking up for the sea. So they didn't shy away from it, and they could be said to be unhindered in the sea. Have you ever heard of ocean currents? The government sets the course of the ship according to the direction of the current, which is the constraint of the sea on human beings, but for the sea breakers, there are always currents around their ship that are escorted towards their goal. "They can manipulate ocean currents." So it's just an undead creature, and in the middle of the sea, an undead creature can't overturn the ship of the seaman. ”

Green patted Lin Moyang on the shoulder and said, "Let's wait here for a while, it is estimated that it will take some time to thaw, let's bask in the sun for a while, it's still quite cold in the cabin." ”

Lin Moyang couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, although he didn't feel cold, but the hatch behind him had begun to flow out of the molten seawater, and he really didn't want to step on the stagnant water to drill around in the cabin.

The two of them were next to the hole in the cabin, just in the bright sunshine of the sea, blowing the sea breeze, while waiting for the cabin behind them to thaw.

The melted waters flow to the sea as if they were alive, and the Seabreaker's draining spell is still in effect.

"It's an amazing organization. Lin Moyang sat on the cold metal floor of the cabin, and the two of them were facing the vast sea outside the hole, and the Wave Breaker was just motionless on the still sea.

"Yes, when man has his eyes set on the sea, sailing becomes a game between man and the sea, and countless heroic stories and discoveries start with a ship. Green looked at the sea and smiled, his smile was particularly warm, and his eyes reflected the golden sunlight.

"From the Argonauts in ancient Greece to Magellan who circumnavigated the world, the records of voyages have heralded the progress of mankind, and the exploration of the deep sea is as much a reflection of the stars as mankind has explored. Green said with a misty look in his eyes.

"Can't you see, you are a knight and still have this kind of feeling of exploration?" Lin Moyang asked curiously, Green and the other wizards he saw did not give him the feeling of being so old-fashioned, but very actively absorbing the fruits of human technology and progress.

"Knighthood originated with Charlemagne of the Franks, when his twelve warriors were called the 'Guards of the Gods', also known as Paladin, paladins. The knights represented a class of nobility, and at that time the knights served the king, in exchange for military service for fiefs and status. But the origins of the knights in our wizarding world are much older. We originated from the Celts, and our origins can be traced back to the knights in those epics, but in the end, knights are just an identity or a position, for us, we are heroes, warriors, swords, but we are still human beings. This is even more true now, there are no demigods like ancient heroes among the knights, we are all ordinary mortals. Green tilted his head and said, "Ah, knight history class, the most annoying subject I had at the time, if I told you that I didn't actually pass this class, would you believe it?"

"Eh, I've always thought you'd be a top student. Lin Moyang said that Green ended all the knight courses in 2 years, and by the way, he abducted a young female knight leader as a fiancΓ©e's life winner, a top student among scholars.

"Haha, I'm okay with the other courses, but I look at the intricate history in the history class, the history of knights is not the history of a certain country, but the product of distortion after constant changes between different countries and even different civilizations, there are so many versions that you can't believe it, I really can't remember. So on the day of the exam, I handed in a blank paper. Green recalled, with a sly and mischievous look on his face, like a clever little boy. "The teachers took my lessons very seriously, so they quickly approached me and asked me why I had turned in the blank papers. At that time, I said to the old knights that the history of knights is not worth mentioning, and knights should not be people who are obsessed with the glory and glory of the past, but people who focus on the present and protect the future of the weak. We are no longer nobles or warriors, and it is better to remember the lessons than history. ”

"Makes sense. Lin Moyang said from the bottom of his heart, Green can say such things at that age, it can be seen that he was already a very good person at that time.

"Would you believe me if I had actually panicked to death at that time, and just wanted the stern old knights to let me go, would you believe it?" said Green, smiling, as he looked seriously into Lin Moyang's eyes.

"Huh?" Lin Moyang didn't believe this kind of statement, but the eyes in front of him were really sincere, just like this calm and boundless sea.

"Yes, I lied, I wasn't that great at all, I just wanted to find an excuse that I wouldn't be punished. Green recalled with a smile that this should have been a black history that people tried their best to hide, but Green's fourth book had no concept of this, so he said it so generously.

"The old knights thought what I said was very reasonable, and they also said that I was worthy of being the last leader of the Order, and even though my studies were not yet over, I had become a model and benchmark for knights like my grandfather. Later, the subject of knightly history became an elective course and was no longer included in the scope of knightly assessment. Green laughed as he spoke.

Lin Moyang thought to himself what kind of ghost plot this is, is this the so-called crown prince exam? If you can't pass the exam, just cancel it? Big brother, what kind of treatment did you get in school back then, if this comes out of my mouth, then my parents will have to mix doubles with me.

"I regretted it afterwards, because knights are not supposed to lie, it's not that knights can't lie, knights can occasionally tell white lies, but they can't disgrace their integrity because of such things. So I've always focused on the present, and the protection of the weak is the knight's code of conduct, as long as the rhetoric of the time is turned into reality, then it is not a lie. Green said.

Lin Moyang stopped talking now, he belongs to the kind of person who will forget the lie immediately after lying, there is no shortage of liars in this world, how can anyone in this world never lie, I heard that Galahad never lied, but it is estimated that it is just a beautification of pilgrims. But how many of them can turn their lies into reality?

The two chatted in the hole in the cabin, and after a while, they saw a dinghy carrying Taylor towards the passenger ship, and in the dinghy sat a well-dressed Lilil.

"Why are you two still interested in chatting?" Taylor's voice was much calmer this time, and his face looked much better, and as soon as she came, she saw two male coolies sitting on the floor chatting.

"We're waiting for the water in the cabin to melt away. Green smiled and answered Taylor's question.

"No, the information has been gathered, you don't need to explore anymore. Taylor winked with a clever smile, freeing the two men, "It's just that this guy's brain is not very good, I only grabbed a few words from his head, probably because he remembered the key words until he died." I culminated a few memories of things like his daughter's name, the location of his money, and the most impressive view of his honeymoon with his wife, and got a few keywords related to our goal this time. They are, the knight in the black fog, the resurrection of the gods, the warning round table, and the missing knight. ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Moyang listened to these words, he really couldn't extract information from these words, and then he looked at Taylor, a smart girl.

Taylor spread his hands: "I don't know what these words mean, but I found this from his chest." Taylor took out a sparkling thing from his pocket, and Lin Moyang leaned over to take a closer look, only to find that it was a ring inlaid with light blue gemstones, which looked very plain.

"It's a mana amplification ring, I remember it's called the Star of Consecration. It was one of the prizes for the outstanding staff of the Ministry of Magic in '16, when a total of 12 magic amplification rings were handed out, and this was one of them. Taylor held the ring, "This unlucky guy can't even remember his name in the end, but fortunately I have this ring, I just took the time to contact the Ministry of Magic, the owner of this ring is Heslete Julius, one of the elite wizards of the Ministry of Magic, this year's representative of the Ministry of Magic in Tristan da Cunha." ”

Taylor explained, clasped his hands together and put the ring back in his pocket, "When the unlucky man realized that someone was attacking, he used the ring to isolate himself in the cabin of the ship to protect himself, and as a result, the attacker dragged the boat to the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. In order to protect the message he wanted to send, he buried the ring in his chest and transformed himself into a lich, but the transformation process was uncontrollable, and he was unlucky to run wild with his magic, losing most of his memories and even blurring his consciousness. However, he must have managed to preserve the last fragment of information, and after I read his memory, the poor man stopped reflexing, and the last of his consciousness was finally dissipated. ”

After hearing this, Green bowed solemnly into the cabin, and it was obvious that he respected the wizard's actions.

"The rest of the matter is left to the Seabreakers, the Lich is gone, and the ship is now nothing more than an unmanned shipwreck, and the Seabreakers have to deal with it, and then let it sail to New Atlantis on its own, and the Seabreakers' garrison will take over and take over. Drake added, "It is custom for us as discoverers to name the ship after its new life, and the captain has decided to name the ship Julius after hearing about the wizard. ”

"Ah...... Pretty good. Lin Moyang didn't know what to say at this time, but Liliel rushed up with an arrow, hugged Lin Moyang's head and stuffed it into his chest, and said: "Ah~ Your Excellency is still so wise and martial! I can feel Your Excellency's power across this sea, it is really shocking~"

Lin Moyang pushed and dodged, which prevented some kind of strange "celestial collision" on his head, and he dodged a little, only to see Liliel quietly winking at him. This guy knew that he had his first breath from so far away? Obviously, she hadn't seen her first breath form very much.

"I don't know why, it seems that His Excellency Fenglong's seal has strengthened my perception of you~" Liliel jumped back into the dinghy and sat down with a smile, and patted the position next to her with her hand: "Nonono! Let's go back!

Lin Moyang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, he looked at Lilil's hungry eyes in fear and said, "I'd rather swim back!"

When Liliel heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately began to unbutton her clothes: "Okay, okay, let's swim back together!"

Before Lilil's button was halfway undone, Lin Moyang had already sat down beside Liliel with a dark face: "Forget it, let's start the boat." ”

Liliel sneered and reached out to grab Lin Moyang's arm, while Taylor and Green looked at each other, each with a malicious smile in their eyes.
